About this property

Harbor Cottage at the Chesapeake Bay - Dog Friendly Beach

Harbor Cottage. Relax on the deck overlooking the fishing and sailboats of Flag Harbor opening onto the Chesapeake Bay. Only a three minute walk to the big sand beach famous for fossils from the Miocene period. Very quiet and not crowded. Great fishing from the beach or charter a boat. Shallow water makes for great swimming, even for kids. Bring your well behaved dog to enjoy the beach and swimming with you.
Due to the pandemic we have kept a vacant day between renters as a courtesy to our cleaners and our arriving guests. These dates are blocked on our calendar.

Washington DC or Annapolis is only one hour away, and the entire Chesapeake Bay area is steeped in American history. Just 15 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Solomons Island, and the terrific Marine Museum there. Many state parks for hiking and birdwatching.

Scenic views and close to hiking

This cute cottage was fully stocked and located convent to beautiful hiking areas and preserves. When not hiking I could take a stroll to the dog friendly beach just a 3minute walk. Owner was easy to communicate with.

A Gem and Already Booked Again!

Having lived in So. MD for over 50 years before moving away, sadly, we had to return for the funeral of a dear and immediate family member. However; our stay at “Harbor Cottage on the Chesapeake w Dog Friendly Beach” wound up transforming our stay from sorrowful to one filled with great memories walking our dog and grandchildren along the beach and then enjoying the idyllic marina views off the front deck of the house. The neighborhood is a QUIET and CLEAN one and EVERYONE is extremely friendly. Best of all, it was a huge stress reducer to checkin to a rental rated for cleanliness that was actually …. clean! Terrific communications by and from the owners, also. We so enjoyed our stay at “Harbor Cottage on the Chesapeake w Dog Friendly Beach” we have already booked a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Nelson

We love this area for a quick get-a-way: our neighbors are friendly and helpful, and the beach is peaceful and beautiful! We enjoy watching the eagles and ospreys fish, and the large schools of fish that can be seen in the (usually) clear water.

Why they chose this property

We found this peaceful and friendly spot by chance - it's so close to the Washington DC area. The community is very dog-friendly, and when we are alone on the beach, they can romp in the waves off the leash. There aren't dangerous tides, and seldom rough water.

What makes this property unique

We have discovered the fun of fossil hunting, or just sitting at the beach and reading and re-charging our energies. The light, wind, and water are constantly changing. You can walk the beach for hours.
